New Editing Problems in XP Home - Office 2003 - Screwed up formatt
In XP Home, Office 2003 Word documents, Ive been having trouble with strange
behaviors, which are causing wasted time. I use to be able to copy and paste text into a Word document and Word would wrap the text to the parameters I had set it to. All the words were whole, but now, when I paste some words at the end of sentences are cut, leaving part on the previous line and the rest on the next. I use a macro to paste the text as non-formated. When I begin to edit the text, trying to get it to extend to the margins by backspacing the next line, but it doesnt work. It will jam the word against the previous word with no space and pressing the space-bar reverts it back to what it was. The words use to wrap to the next line and remain as complete words. I also use to reformat pasted, numbered lines, by clicking the €śNumbering€ť button once and have subsequent lines of a sentence wrap and line up beneath each other like this. 1. Launch Internet Explorer. 2. Click one of the window corners and drag it out to completely fill your screen. Do not use the Maximize button. 3. Press [Alt] to view the main menu bar (if you are using Internet Explorer 7). 4. Press and hold down either [Ctrl] or [Shift] while selecting Exit from the file menu. Do not use the Close button. When I first paste numbered lines, they look like this, 1. Launch Internet Explorer. 2. Click one of the window corners and drag it out to completely fill your screen. Do not use the Maximize button. 3. Press [Alt] to view the menu bar (if you are using Internet Explorer 7). 4. Press and hold down either [Ctrl] or [Shift] while selecting Exit from the File menu. Do not use the Close button. Now, clicking the Numbering button screws the numbers up like this, 1. Launch Internet Explorer. 2. Click one of the window corners and drag it out to completely fill your screen. Do not use the Maximize 1. button. 2. Press [Alt] to view the menu bar (if you are using Internet Explorer 7). 3. Press and hold down either [Ctrl] or [Shift] while selecting Exit from the File menu. Do not use the Close 4. button. Clicking it again makes it like this. 1. Launch Internet Explorer. 2. Click one of the window corners and drag it out to completely fill your screen. Do not use the Maximize 3. button. 4. Press [Alt] to view the menu bar (if you are using Internet Explorer 7). 5. Press and hold down either [Ctrl] or [Shift] while selecting Exit from the File menu. Do not use the Close 6. button. I never had this problem before. Now I have to go through and try to manually change the sentences to get rid of extra numbers that dont belong, but wind up with the words splitting apart at the margins, if the sentences are long enough to wrap. Has a setting been changed ? |

Have you turned on the non-printing characters display (the Pilcrow on the
standard toolbar) to see what is happening? It sounds to me that you are copying text that has Line Feeds at the end of every line.

Click on the Pilcrow on the standard toolbar (the backwards large P
character) or use Ctrl+Shft+8.
